Showered

Last Sunday my Mom and sisters threw me the most
wonderful nautical themed baby shower.































 It felt so good to celebrate the peanut
and to get so many amazing women in one room together.
The best part was that I didn't have to sit there and open presents,
so I actually had time to catch up with people.

There were so many special little touches, like seeing the
Shelly Family out on display.  My godfather got these for me
circa 1986,  I named the biggest one Shelly Turtle,
then we have Sister Shell,  and Baby Shell.
Somehow my mother managed to keep these
in amazing condition! Hopefully the peanut
will love them just as much as I do.

It was such a great day, and now I think we are pretty close to
being ready for the peanut's arrival- at least in terms of
baby gear.  Hopefully by next weekend his room will be
all set up for him.   Here's some more photos from
the shower.

This last picture is a perfect example of how
we can't go anywhere without dressing somewhat alike.
Either through patterns, color schemes, or exact articles of clothing.
Our trip to Charleston was laughable, we all wore
black blazers, scarves and skinny jeans and we all had bangs
at the time.  Then in Berlin, Meghan and I both brought
houndstooth dresses to wear to see the symphony.
Never gets old. Love these gals.
